Re: “Texas’ lax gun laws set it apart — State leads U.S. in mass shootings, firearm sales and licensed dealers,” June 5 news story.Texas has more licensed gun dealers and manufacturers than any other state. It is home to slightly more than 6,000 gun sellers, according to May 2022 licensing data from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. That’s more than twice as many as any other state, your paper reported.
Also in 2021, you cut Texas Health and Human Services spending by $117 million, and again in 2022 cut HHS spending by $93 million. Every day, a cop walks out of his or her home into what is essentially a combat zone. As much as we want to believe that they are well-equipped to handle it, with bulletproof vests and firepower, they are being asked to arrive in the middle of a gang war where there are multiple people with military-style rifles and semi-automatic pistols.
In the meantime, the current safety precautions to be taken in the classroom consist of the teacher donning an orange vest so he or she can be readily identified, as he or she is to take her tear gas container out of the safe and get close enough to use it. Nov. 5, 2017, 26 people were murdered in a Sutherland Springs, Texas, church by a man with a semi-automatic rifle.On Aug. 3, 2019, 23 people were gunned down in an El Paso Walmart by a 21-year-old man armed with a semi-automatic rifle. Less than a month later, a gunman armed with a semi-automatic rifle murdered seven people in Midland-Odessa.
Now, there are no gun racks or fishing rods, only semi-automatic rifles and handguns with a clip of ammunition. After watching years of video games, guns are toys now. Just keep pulling the trigger, no one gets hurt or killed, restart the game and everyone is alive and well.The AR-15 is most definitely not a machine gun. It’s a semi-automatic rifle that looks mean. Also, machine guns are not banned. There is a significant amount of paperwork required to obtain one.
